We are very excited for our second DARC seminar of the week. Today we will hear from Peter Jan van Leeuwen from Colorado State University!

We are starting a new Community of Practice in Land Surface Data Assimilation co-organised by NERC NCEO UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology DARC - Data Assimilation Research Centre. Great first meeting on Monday!

Fabulous discussions with a super group of people (+ others online!) at our inaugural Hydro-JULES land surface data assimilation meeting

Published on Monday in Nature npj Climate and Atmospheric Science:

'Do AI models produce better weather forecasts than physics-based models? A quantitative evaluation case study of Storm Ciarán'

Work conducted by Andrew J.…

Despite rapid technological progress in an era of supercomputers, satellites, and Artificial Intelligence, big gaps remain in basic observations that support weather forecasts and climate monitoring.

Congratulations to @unirdg_DARC student  Helen Hooker for passing her PhD viva today! I failed in my supervisor's duty to take a post-viva photo, so instead here is a picture of her at work on her PhD by artist Hugo Dalton Studio

Excited to hear from Boštjan Melinc tomorrow! The talk is on their work done with Žiga Zaplotnik about data assimilation and machine learning! See thread for their description of this very nice plot 🌟📈📊

Reminder about this year's free data assimilation training course in Reading, UK.
Deadline to apply: 31st March.

The trip to the launch has begun for #EarthCARE !

European Space Agency’s EarthCARE satellite is all packed up in its container ready for shipment to the launch site in the US. Once it arrives at the launch site in California, it will be put into storage until it is time to liftoff.

Fantastic news! Congratulations Cristina Ruiz Villena for winning the Gold prize for physics🏅. Cristina and Abigail will be taking part in the Space Park Leicester #NewVoices event to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay this Friday #STEM4Brit #womeninSTEM 🌍🛰️🎊

I am looking for motivated students for a PhD project on machine learning and data assimilation, co-advised with Jochen Broecker!

This is part of the University of Reading's new PhD programme in Mathematics for our Future Climate (MFC), joint with Imperial and Southampton. 1/2
